norcold 1200 dead panel

Once again my not thinking raised it's ugly head. When I found 12v at the board I assumed that could not be the problem. I then found some hallway lights not working. When checking the 12v fuses behind the cover lo and behold there was a 20a that tested good with an ohmmeter but was not passing voltage or at least very little, not visually burned. A new one cured all problems. And most likely a $100 service call. Thanks Doxie for the reply. Marv

You have a 2002 RV. You state your 1200 is less than 1 year old. They have not built 1200 models in years. The current model is a 1210. Are you positive about the model number. The FIRST and only thing you can do is take a 12 volt reading at the input of the recall box and the output. IF no 12 volt, you have a supply problem TO the refer from your Coach 12 volt supply. If you have in and out 12 volt from the recall box, then the back cover has to be pulled to check the 12 volt fuse on the rear control board. There is NO reset type procedure for a 1200 series Norcold refer that involves removing 12 volt power and then restoring 12 volt power or 120 power. Doug

Try unplugging the electric and battery power outside in the access panel. Let it sit for 10 minutes or so and plug back in - battery first, then electric. This may reset the board for you. It worked for us.
